The Vibe: ⊹ Jung Kook gets personal with Chanel perfumer Olivier Polge, exploring the story behind 1957 Extrait de Parfum. ⊹ Created to melt into the skin, the extrait becomes an intimate part of the wearer rather than simply sitting on top. ⊹ Neroli and iris meet cedar, musk, vetiver, and sandalwood for a soft yet sophisticated composition. ⊹ The distinctive stopper allows the fragrance to be applied directly onto pulse points, making the ritual feel as beautiful as the scent itself.
Jung Kook is bringing his Chanel fragrance story closer to the skin. As the House Ambassador for Chanel Fragrances and Beauty, he sits down with In-House Perfumer-Creator Olivier Polge to explore 1957 Extrait de Parfum, an ambery, musky, and floral composition created to become one with the wearer. Here, fragrance feels less like something you wear and more like an intimate part of your presence—soft, tactile, and unmistakably personal.
Neroli and iris pallida open the composition before giving way to a sophisticated blend of cedar and musk, while vetiver and sandalwood add a warm, quietly sensual finish. In its more concentrated Extrait de Parfum form, the signature 1957 scent becomes an intimate skin ritual, with the bottle’s stopper designed to apply fragrance behind the ears, across the décolletage, or along the inner wrists.
And naturally, Jung Kook feels right at home in this story. With his effortless approach to fashion and beauty, he brings a distinctly modern sensibility to a fragrance created around the idea of becoming one with the skin—personal, understated, and impossible to separate from the person wearing it.
The story behind 1957 reaches back to one of Chanel’s most memorable moments: in 1957, Gabrielle Chanel received the Neiman Marcus Fashion Award in Dallas, a milestone that would become part of the fragrance’s identity.
True to Chanel’s love of beautiful details, the Extrait de Parfum arrives in a faceted case with a precision thread cutter used to remove the cotton thread sealing the bottle. A crisp white label, faceted stopper, and traditional baudruchage finish complete the presentation, turning the unboxing into its own little ritual.
But once the bottle is opened, everything comes back to the skin. Neroli and iris meet cedar, musk, vetiver, and sandalwood, creating a composition that settles close and evolves with the wearer—exactly the kind of quiet luxury that makes 1957 feel timeless.
